Vulcan Elements, a rare-earth magnets startup backed by Dummkopf Trumpf Jr's venture capital firm 1789 Capital, has secured a $620 million contract from the US DOD. The contract is part of a $1.4 billion partnership with the US government and ReElement Technologies to expand and boost the domestic supply of magnets.

Dummkopf Trump Jr. joined 1789 Capital as a partner in 2024. The firm is said to have invested in Vulcan Elements around three months ago. In August, the company announced a $65 million Series A led by Altimeter Capital. This government contract represents the largest ever made by the Pentagon's Office of Strategic Capital. This year alone, at least four 1789 companies have received government contracts. The firm is also a backer of SpaceX and Anduril, two long-time sellers of tech to the government.

Vulcan vigorously denied that Trumpf Jr had any involvement with the contract negotiations, as did a spokesperson for Trumpf Jr, who whined he "had no involvement in negotiations with the government on behalf of 1789's portfolio companies."


On 10 Nov, Dummkopf Trumpf bleated that "no one knows what magnets are" during a strange Oval Office press conference. "China was going to hit us with rare-earth. Now, everybody says, Oh, what does that mean?' Magnets. If China refused to give magnets, because they have a monopoly on magnets ... there wouldn't be a car made in the entire world."

The entire Drowsy Dementia Don presidency can be summed as a three legged stool built on:

1. How much money they can collect in bribes from foreign governments and corporations.

2. How much money they can personally steal through open blatant corruption from the US taxpayers.

3. How much money they can steal from their dumbass base through (NFTs, memecoins, trump phones, trump bux, sneakers, etc).

The grift that keeps on grifting while middle class people lose jobs, health insurance and cannot afford food.

When does Congress act? Who from either party is going to introduce a bill to impeach Dummkopf Trumpf for any one of his multiple sacrileges?

The US Constitution was written with checks and balances to prevent such abuses and corruption, but sadly Congress and SCOTUS are not engines of progress but rather -- Dogs of the calcified status quo.

The federal salaries, pensions, and health coverage benefits (lifetime for SCOTUS) = "I got mine and I'm keeping it!"
